10k not so fun run!

Sunday morning, bright and early at 7am...sun was shining, birds were singing and I was limbering up for what felt like a marathon!...but was in fact only a 10k fun run for the Marie Curie Cancer Care.I felt totally unprepared in my head for what was about to happen, but from somewhere within as I started to run I felt this overwhelming urge to just keep running, the feeling of running with a crowd of people who all had the same determination...is this what Forrest Gump felt like when he started running?!I kept a steady pace and although I felt like I was being overtaken quite a bit I didn't finish last and later discovered that I was being over taken by the 15 mile runners who seemed to run like a completely different species!I completed the race in 1.12mins, the feeling of the last stretch with my friends cheering me on to the finish line was like no other feeling...My body felt exhausted but felt I had the power sprint to the end, it was just brilliant....the pain was the next day when my limbs had temporally seized up!I have since recovered and cant wait for my next running challenge!
